Running back Shane Vereen made a terrific catch on a wheel route. Brady lofted a throw over safety Steve Gregory, who jammed Vereen in the second level, but the running back released off the press to make the catch. Good bit of playmaking.

Running back Brandon Bolden showed some good hands while catching several passes during the session. He was surpassing expectations from that standpoint.

The more I see of undrafted RB Brandon Bolden, the more I like him. He did have a dropped pass, but he has nice body control and burst. Vereen showed himself with a nice over-the-shoulder grab that is difficult for a RB.

The problem is they turned it into a ridiculous 15 yard lateral pass to a cutting Julian Edelman, who would either (a) drop it, (b) bat in the air for an interception, or (c), make the catch and fall down.

I am pleased to see the return of the screen play. Seemed to be practicing it heavy today.

I was not too pleased that they seemed to get away from it after Josh left. It's a great tool in the tool box.

You know if you call that play successfully it's great to see the big shot Osi's and Tucks suck wind as they put on the brakes and head in the opposite direction, only to burn all that oxygen to come up empty.
